A California federal judge has issued an injunction stopping the military from enforcing its “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which bans gays and lesbians from serving openly in uniform.
U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips ruled Tuesday that the policy “infringes the fundamental rights” of military service members and prospective service members, violates their due process rights and the rights to freedom of speech.
But what about our soldiers? They need closeted gays among them to keep their gaydars finely tuned. WE ARE WEAKENING OUR MILITARY, AND BUTCH JESUS ISN’T AMUSED. [WP]

Gay hats off to the self-hating Log Cabin Republicans for killing DADT. Nice job, HRC!
Tony Perkins just diagnosed the entire military with AIDS. Compassionately.
But how will soldiers have the freedom to be homoerotic with actual homos present?
That reminds me of Jesus' General. You'll like this:

There's always vodka shots with the contractors to blow off steam.
Nothing beats ass-vodka with the boys. It's as manly as manly gets.
Finally. And while she was at it, Phillips could've also decreed that camouflage and olive drab are so last season and should be immediately replaced with hot pink and fuschia.
Not dusty rose and teal? Come on!
So it is now Do Ask Do Tell?
No, I think it will be Do Ask Do Dish.

OH NO! Now our awesome superpower military will become weak and effete, like the militaries of all of our allies, including the NATO forces in Afghanistan and also the IDF.
See, that is how we should have sold it during the Bush Administration:
Mr. President, we cannot allow a cock sucking gap!!
Is there a with-all-deliberate-speed escape clause in this ruling? Imagine the furious activity in all the services' JAG offices!
That's F.A.P. (Furious Activity Promulgation)
I'm about to JAG office we speak.
Poor Klinger; all that hard work pretending to be gay for nothing.
Fuck. There goes the last best way to getting out of the army. Thanks a lot, gheys.
on a related note – Lenny Bruce claims to have ditched the navy by showing up on deck in dresses. I have to think the character of Klinger was lifted directly form that.
I don't know how effective it is in this Post 9/11 World, but a little over a decade ago, uttering the phrase "history of asthma" was enough to scare off most recruiters.
The Vietnam debacle is retribution for allowing gays in the military. And don't worry that the punishment preceded the sin — the LORD, in his infinite wisdom, has created followers who aren't bound by such ludicrous restrictions as the cause happening before the effect.
I'll enjoy seeing my obese teabagger neighbor try to fight of a M1 Bradley Fighting Vehicle full of gheys with his mini-14.
Nifty! Will you record it with your phone and share it with your fellow wonketteers?
So, Carl Paladino was right?
After all, it is really hard to fire your M16 when you are busy sucking someones dick. Why, it is just abnormal.
Easier than when you're licking out a pussy – field of vision is less obstructed.
Which is why women shouldn't be allowed in the military. That, and as Newt Gingrich pointed out, they get infections every 30 days.
I DUN TOLE YOU THE GHEYZ HAD A AJENDA!!!
This legislation was passed in Washington, and Tony Perkins has been to Washington, PROOF that Tony Perkins single-handedly struck down DADT.
He's going to have some explaining to do to the council.
What's next, women in the army?!
Men in the Air Force.

Oh darn, now my conservative straight cousin is going to have to shower with those gheys.
The Second Amendment swings both ways.
So what will the administration's excuse be for fighting this one? Same old lame excuse of "legislative action required?" Or will they find a new way to twist themselves into knots to explain their fight? Make your predictions below.
Oh noes! Now the military will be exactly the same as it ever was, only better. What will we do?
Eddie Izzard's take on DADT. (I stole this off a Gawker comment).
But how am I going to dodge the draft now?
Will the tea baggers still support our troops?
Some of the TP'er will support some of the soldiers. A principled position of libertarian-oriented conservatives is that it's none of the government's business. Principled position, ha ha ha.
Col. Lindsay Graham can finally come out of the closet!
Rev. Phelps is going to be so busy. If Jack Chick is a human, he's got a lot of work to do as well.
I just don't see how allowing thousands of highly qualified people join or stay in the military during a time of war is going to help our country.
NOW the Repubicans will want to cut military spending — which is more than the stimulus, more than the bail-out, more than Social Security.
Woo hoo! Rainbow colored AK-47s here we come!
Leopard print and Hello Kitty, too!
A fashionable military. A kinder gentler military… I suppose missles will be erect and ready to explode throughout the world.
So far over 2,000 comments on Foxnews, including such gems as 'there's probably gonna be an increase in friendly fire..' The right is in a shitstorm over this already. But we've yet to hear from Bryan Fischer. So the Wonkette will hopefully let us know when he weighs in.
That is, Wonkette will let us know what words he strings together to express the opinion that we already know he has.
